Rajinikanth says 'Mersal' has addressed important issue

Entertainment, Pollywood

Chennai: Tamil superstar Rajinikanth today lauded the crew of actor Vijay's starrer 'Mersal', saying the film has addressed an important issue.

However in a terse Twitter message, he did not explicitly refer to any specific issue, although the film has courted controversy over Goods and Services Tax, with BJP claiming that there have been incorrect references to the central taxation.

The BJP had on October 20 objected to what it termed as "untruths" regarding the GST in just-released "Mersal", and wanted dialogues on the central taxation to be deleted.

Actor Vishal had earlier accused Raja of advocating piracy by watching the movie online, a charge rejected by latter.
